What my friend at United wrote in his blog http://renewedpilot.com/2016/02/04/l...or-the-winter/ was this:

"Our contract has very specific rules about deadheading. For a deadhead to a layover, the scheduler must confirm the reservation in the following order based on availability: aisle, window, middle seat.

If we are forced to sit in a middle seat, we earn 1.5x pay for that segment."


and he said this:

"Our contract states that if we deadhead to a working assignment, we must be booked in first class if available at the time of ticketing."

Sounds kinda nice...

"If available." When was the last time you saw a seat in FC available?

At the time that the DH reservation was booked/ticketing? All the time - almost every flight. The DH reservations are made as soon as you're name is on a rotation with a DH. You just add your name in TravelNet.

Of course the flight goes out with FC full, but that's because of upgrades at the gate. Look at the gate information screens, you'll see empty FC seats, that they then fill 30 minutes prior to departure.

I did. My PB days were from 2015. Just APD first. After the trip is dropped call CS and tell them you want to use your PB on your APD.
Just be careful. You have 3 PBs. If its a 4 or 5 day trip keep in mind that all the credit is on the last day, so your PB only covers block.
Now, if its a 3 day or less you are good.
For me, I used my last 2 PBs on a 4 day trip that was front loaded with block, so it paid me 13.5 hrs.....

My bad. It was an attempt at some subtle, sarcastic humor. You'd think that after 16 years at Delta, I'd figure out how to do it.

For rotation construction, does a 30-hour layover have to be at least 30 hours exactly (30:00) for PBS to view it as a 30-hour break in 168 hours...or can it be close like 29:44?

To answer my own question, I called PBS Bid Assist.

Not only does it have to be 30 hours but PBS adds a 1-hour buffer so, to "reset" yourself on a layover, that layover has to be 31 hours or more for PBS to honor that as 30 in 168 for line construction.
